You just figured that out?

No, I thought that may be the case, but actually waited to see what they looked like.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Anthony Davis is gonna average like 18 FT's a game lol...

 

[DDolla]

The only way the Blazers can beat the Lakers or Clippers is if one of their superstars are out with injuries or resting

Starting this crap before the Blazers even play a game?

A Healthy Nurk, and I think the Blazers have a lot of different ways to attack anyone and their close talent wise. Clippers and Lakers may have the best two players but the Blazers do have a superstar and the next 4 best players on their roster probably. So no the Blazers don't just need injuries to win, they need their players healthy. They also need one of Zach or Simons to play up to what the Blazers are expecting I think that's probably the biggest question marks towards where the Blazers will be at the end of the season.

He plays a lot more in the paint, he might also average 54 games. That dude does not handle so much contact well...

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Wasn't necessarily saying he wasn't getting fouled but for a while, it felt like every time they gave him the ball in the paint. They were calling a foul.

Hard to say how good the Blazers will be especially when Nurk comes back. Who knows?

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Just one half, but the Clippers feel significantly better than the Lakers to me. I think the Lakers lack of a legit point guard, or more the lack of a legit offensive scheme, is going to be a problem for them.

We need more fire power, maybe mid season trade for another star

 

[DDolla]

James and AD don’t even pass the ball lol

 

[andalusian]

That clippers team is going to be trouble

 

[tlongII]

Nah we’re better than both LA teams at this point in time. PG13 won’t be ready for a few months.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Why is there a shot clock on the floor? Who asked for this

Anyone else got am opinion on this. I'm not a fan, but I'm wondering if that's only because it's different and I don't like people messing with my NBA.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Gotta say, I've never seen Kawhi pass this well. Feels like he made that a point of emphasis for himself this off-season.

 

[Chris Craig]

Two non existent fouls on Kawhi

Refs keeping Lakers in it

Well Doc did not challenge the call, I think he still have one.

 

[B-Roy]

Why are the Lakers not running LeBron/Davis pick and rolls? Wasn't that the main reason to get excited for this pairing?

 

[Chris Craig]

Not sure. Is it a TNT thing or a Clippers thing for their 50 year aniv. court? I like it, but it's distracting as hell

 

[B-Roy]

Wow, that was a sick defensive possession by LeBron. One man stopping a whole team.

 

[BigGameDamian]

Looks like TNT is having a lot of problems tonight.

I thought they signed Rondo?

 

[HailBlazers]

Don't miss Harkless brickin threes.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

I thought they signed Rondo?

Me too, but nowhere to be seen.

 

[LayneStaley]

Dwight Howard needs a haircut and longer shorts.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Here I am, yelling at Reggie after that foul on Davis that should have been a charge on Patterson: "It doesn't matter if Davis was moving; he just needed to be in legal guarding position, which he was!"

Thanks a lot @dviss1--you did this to me!

 

[DDolla]

Man I Love this Game

Rondo sitting on the bench with some sort of injury

I'd like it more if TNT would fix the audio problem.
